So I was on my way to work...
Heading Northbound 99 in the fast lane (#1).
This silver integra (1994+) in front of me changes lanes from 1 to 2, just at the same time in lane 3, a truck changes lanes to 2. They both almost merge into each other.
The truck snaps back right and gains control of his car back in lane 3.
The integra tries to do the same, but she was braking, and almost hit the center guard, and her car countersteered left, right, left (my knowledge after having done the same before is to just release the brakes and coast it until its under control again... but she didn't. I specifically noticed her brake lights still on)
As I was slamming my brakes because I was about 20 yards behind her. I check my rear view mirror to see if I'm about to get rear ended and noticed all the other cars slowing.
So as I inch closer to the integra, the car's front wheels catch grip, and spun the car clockwise out into the #2 lane. Saved me from hitting her.
As I passed by it was 2 asian chicks (the driver's palm facing window hoping a car wasn't about to plow into her and her face was white as hell), their front left of the car facing oncoming traffic, luckily all the cars stopped in time. I was checkin the rear view mirror to see if they got hit, but they didn't.
In conclusion, I need bigger brakes.

Car Info: A limousine with a chauffer
In conclusion, noob sauces need to learn how to drive. I saw some dumb *** slam his car in to the center divide on 50 @ bradshaw like this about a year ago. Dip**** was flying through traffic, tried to pass some guy on the right in the #3 lane, while a 300z moved over from the merge lane (#4 I guess). Anyway, dumb *** finds himself between two vehicles - the z and a van, swerves left, right, left ,right, trying to find a way through in order to keep himself on the path to speed and win. After doing that for a sec, realizes he's done, SLAMS on his brakes and IS done. I watched the whole thing - saw him slam on the brakes and immediately the car came WAAAAYYY out on him. I just hit the brakes and slowed to give him room. Once to the right, once to the left and then slides across three lanes and SMASH in to the center.
I called 911, said that others had stopped, said I witnessed the whole thing and gave them my info. The guy had been tailgating me and being a ****head before he smashed himself up, so I made sure to give all the detail down to the CHP, who said he faulted the guy based on my report. No one else had called it in and the guy said someone swerved at him. Dick.
